WARNING

Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the

reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.

When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it

brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic

pressure and is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle

relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the

arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.

The MTX Connect is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood

pressure at the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a

microprocessor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting

from the inflation and deflation of the cuff over the artery.

MEDISANA has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure

measurement. The high precision of MEDISANA devices has been confirmed

by extensive clinical tests, carried out according to strict international

standards. One strong argument in favour of taking blood pressure at home is

the fact that the readings are taken in familiar surroundings under relaxed

conditions. The most important reading is the socalled „baseline value“, the

one taken before breakfast, directly after getting up in the morning. As far as

it is possible, you should always try to take your blood pressure at the same

time and under the same conditions each day.

This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high

blood pressure. If high blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk

of further cardiovascular diseases.

THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND:

Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis,

even if you are experiencing no apparent complaints.

The following table shows the classification of high and low blood pressure,

without taking age into consideration. This blood pressure assessment scale

corresponds to the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

WARNING

Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health

risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead

to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)!

Fluctuations in

blood pressure

2.7

Influencing

and evaluating

readings

3.1

Inserting /

removing

batteries

There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can be

affected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day at

which the measurements are taken. Your personal blood pressure values are

subject to considerable fluctuation during the course of the day and the year.

These fluctuations are particularly pronounced in the case of patients suffering

from hypertension. Blood pressure is usually at its highest during physical

exertion and at its lowest at night when you are asleep.

• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the

results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading.

• Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is

also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit

regularly and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the

doctor from time to time to keep him updated.

• When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced by

several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical

exertion influence the measured values in various ways.

• Measure your blood pressure before meals.

• Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.

• If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on

several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.

This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse

prevents you from taking readings.

Insertion: Open the battery compartment on the underside of the unit by

exerting gentle pressure in the direction indicated by the arrow, and insert the

four batteries included with the unit (alkaline batteries, AA type, LR 6).

Remember to insert the batteries as indicated in the diagram in the battery

compartment. Once the batteries are inserted correctly (or once the power unit

is plugged in), you should hear 2 beeps.

When the ON/OFF switch is activated



, you will hear 2 beeps and all the

symbols appear on the display for one second. Then the following appears:

“

- : - -

“. Replace the lid, pressing it until it snaps into place.

Removal:

If the voltage in the batteries drops below 5 - 4.5 V, the display shows the

battery symbol



. Switch the device off using the ON/OFF switch



and insert new batteries. Should the used batteries be jammed in the

compartment, use a pointed instrument, such as a ballpoint pen, to carefully

prise them out.

As soon as the voltage in the batteries drops below 4.25 - 0.25 V, the display

shows the battery symbol



. The device automatically switches off

immediately after this symbol appears. The device will not function until new

batteries are inserted.

3 consecutive readings ( Measurement Average Mode = 3/MAM-mode )

In the case of a single reading, just one blood pressure reading is taken and

stored.

The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely

fluctuating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second

intervals, thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious

deviations, a 4th reading may be taken.

From these three measurements, a weighted average value is calculated,

displayed and stored in the selected memory. A reading taken in this way is

indicated in the memory by an

Error messages

Possible causes and solutions

Err 1

Measurement of the systolic blood pressure was completed.

Either the connection with the hose has been interrupted or no pulse

could be determined.

Check the connections between the cuff and the main unit.

Err 2 Non-physiological pressure has been detected.

Cause: the arm was moved during the measurement.

Repeat the measurement, keeping your arm still.

Err 3 If the cuff takes too long to inflate, it is possible that the cuff is

incorrectly positioned or that the connection with the hose is not airtight.

Check the connections and repeat the measurement.

Err 5 An average value could not be calculated due to unstable conditions

while the readings were being taken.

Repeat the measuring process, keeping your arm still and not speaking.

Err 6 There were too many errors during the measurement in MAM mode,

making it impossible to obtain a final result.

Read through the checklist for performing reliable measurements and

then repeat the measurement.

HI The pressure in the cuff is too high (over 300 mmHg) or the pulse is too

high (over 200 beats per minute).

Relax for 5 minutes and repeat the measurement.

LO The pulse is too low (less than 40 beats per minute).

Repeat the measurement.
